Here is a wild stab for discussion, putting together your statement that "GSN is basically eight serial HiPPI lines tied together" with SGI's 800Mb/s figure, their talk of GSN as an "evolving" standard, the Ancor OEM, and Ancor's unique in-order delivery feature that permits multiple FC links to be bundled for higher throughput: Could it be that SGI now intends to implement GSN using bundled FC links instead of Hippi? How far along is the GSN standardization process - would it permit such an FC implementation? Given that FC allows for encapsulation of foreign protocols (such as Hippi?), this looks feasible to me. If this is indeed what's happening, it would be virtually guaranteed that they'd have to use "our" switches... Or am I way off base here? - nic
